Congratulations to Damarko Dixon on being picked to represent the Georgia All Star Wrestling Team as their 170 pounder. There were six 170 LB state champions and many more quality wrestlers in Georgia capable of being picked and he was chosen to represent Georgia. The Georgia team will face a national all star team in Atlanta on April 13 at Lassiter High School in a dual match at 2:00 p.m. This is the 2014 Cliff Keen Dream Team Classic featuring the USA Dream Team vs. Georgia All Stars, presented by USA Magazine. This event is held once a year in different states alternating each year.

“This is the 18th Dream Team Classic wrestling dual featuring some of the best high school seniors in the country. Some in the past have gone on to win NCAA championships and even Olympic Gold including Cael Sanderson from the first Dream Team Classic back in 1997.

This year’s Dream Team Classic will be in the state of Georgia for the first time including Georgia’s first top- ranked senior by Wrestling USA Magazine Chip Ness.(CLASS 3A)

Both teams will include five number one ranked wrestlers in the country and 16 top five ranked wrestlers in the country,” per USA magazine.

It is a great honor to have been chosen to compete in this event. This wrestling event can be compared in its own way, to such events as the Under Armour events for high school seniors in football and baseball, just to give you an idea on how big of an achievement this is.

Dixon’s list of major achievements in wrestling:

2013 152 LB Class 3A State Champion (one of two in school history)

2014 170 LB Class 3A State Champion (first to win two in school history).

156 career wins (first in school history to get over 150 wins).

Appointed to the Air Force Academy to wrestle (first D-1 wrestler).

If you see Damarko please congratulate him and wish him good luck in Sunday’s dual. This is a great way to cap off a spectacular senior season and an awesome high school career.

Damarko is the son of Gerald Dixon, and Clifton and Kutonya King. His grandparents are Catherine Bell of Baxley and Annie Ellis of Macon.
